In the US we have thes things called yard sales where people put all the junk they want to get rid of on the lawn and people will just stop when they see it.
What bothers me is how people always credit prayer while ignoreing the advanced medical care the girl recieved. Maybe, just maybe, that had something to do with it? The logical extreme of this beleif is faith-healers who refuse medical attention. I've read a story about a young boy with a tumor on his head so large he couldn't actually lift it anymore and his idiot parents jast kinda watched and prayed. Ugh.
I agree completely. Its a lot like the situation with synthetic versus "real" diamonds. There really is no difference but you really should hear DeBeers marketing droids try to say different.
Yeh, I liked the review that said that basically all the ammo and powerups were just swithces to bring in monsters. Doom 3 was like a repetitive horror film that uses the same lame gimmicks over and over and over and over until they are just beaten to death. (Although it DID have its moments, like the awsome intro sequnce for the pinkydemon and the guy with the lamp and when that demon appears behind the stairs wtih a light behind it. That literally made me jump.)
The thing is though that if you could control gravity like that you would be immune to any projectile weapons. Or Gordon could just use it to pull guns out of the enemies hands. Oh well its still really neat.
But doing that would be awful incriminating itself now wouldn't it? You might as well just sream "I am trying to hide that fact that there is blood in this house!".
Well I added the LOL because his comment DID make me laugh out loud. And whats wrong with snarky and derisive? Like I said, are slashdotters so sensitive that snarky and derisive comments have to be censored from sight?
Jeeze this is the second time I posted a comment critical of the parent comment and the second time I was rated as a Troll. Whats the deal, are slashdottors so sensitive they can't see anything contradictory?
Actually its not often said but since the only method of enforceing IP laws is through lawsuits, then the Information Age will also be the Litigation Age.
If the P4 is really gonna top out at 3.8 and considering that Intel has said that they will not release consumer level dual-core chips until 2006, what the hell are they gonna do for all of 2005? Im guessing marketing large cache chips, but I really have no idea. Intel really painted themselved in a corner this time. If they could swollow their pride they should really just release a mainstream version of the Pentium M.
No shit, the rural residents are treated like foreigners in their own country since they need GOVERMENT PERMISSION to move to the cities to try and excape their crushing pverty. So you have a hundreds of millions of people living in cities illegaly. Its insane.
I always wondered why the hell Hotmail's spam filtering sucks so bad when they are in a unique position to be able to stop it. If the same message is being sent to say a thousand or 100,000 people, you can be pretty sure its spam and just block it. They could even do this retroactively after monitoring over a period of days.

I think you could replace *even harder* with *completely and utterly impossible*
An hour, man I notice it immediatly and I can't stand it. Its unberable.

Yeh, cause Marx's ideas have proven to be SO accurate. LOL

Yeh the cancellation of the Integral Fast Reactor was amazeingly stupid. It was a great solution to what to do with nuclear "waste".

Oh, please, he just read ringworld and maybe Vacuum Diagrams. Not really that impressive.
Yes but this computer has about 3 times as much RAM PER PROCESSOR as Columbia has.
Yes, but if you did what he suggested but replace Ocenia with North Korea, you would have an incredibly accurate idea of what life is like there!
Go read Diaspora by Greg Egan. Polises and Gliesners and 800 times faster cognition all the way baby!!!
Divide the Mass of the object by the distance it will pass earth. If > than ?, post on Slashdot.

... can this technique be used on women to train them to seek out the smell of all us unwashed geeks and nerds!
Not really. Its probbably in water tight containers, and we could probbably retrieve it.
Actually, its more like 40 to 70 trillion when you include the future liabilities of Social Security and Medicare.
